Optima Batteries and Torqeedo
Tuesday, 14 July 2009
The Optima batteries are now available to purchase with your Torqeedo outboards. Please consult with your Torqeedo retailer for more information and pricing.
Following are some characteristics of the Optima batteries:
Vibration Resistant
The OPTIMA® is over 15 times more resistant to vibration than other batteries. The constant vibration and jarring from waves can be deadly for traditional marine batteries. The tightly wound construction in OPTIMA® batteries minimizes plate movement and subsequent damage caused by harsh conditions - extending battery life.
Nonspillable Maintenance Free
The OPTIMA® is spill-proof and maintenance free. Because of its completely sealed case, OPTIMA® batteries are extremely safe. Acid can't leak or spill, making them clean, user-friendly and environmentally sound. In addition, the maintenance free sealed case design eliminates the need to add water or clean terminals. OPTIMA® Blue Top batteries are spill proof, so they can be mounted anyplace inside a boat or RV, in almost any position.
Retains Charge Longer Recharges Faster
In the off-season, sometimes marine batteries sit for months at a time and lose their charge. But the OPTIMA BlueTop battery has such a low rate of self-discharge, that it can go unused for up to one year without recharging, if kept at or below room temperature. And because of its low internal resistance, it recharges faster, getting you back on the water quickly.
The Optima batteries are now available to purchase with your Torqeedo outboard.
